Tony Fadell volunteered to help clean up the Google Glass project
Google Glass graduated from the Google X labs in January, and as such, the team began reporting to Nest co-founder Tony Fadell. Fadell is now saying that the project wasn’t forced on him, but that he offered to help clean up the Glass project and make it something “important.”
In a BBC interview, the iPod designer clarified that he volunteered to help the project. “It wasn’t handed to me and said, ‘Tony, clean it up,’” he said. “I offered and said, ‘this is important.’ I remember what it was like when we did the iPod and the iPhone. I think this can be that important, but it’s going to take time to get it right.”
Google Glass has never been a big success. It’s an extremely innovative concept, but it has just never taken off, partially because virtual reality and augmented reality technologies are still in its infancy. However, we hope that Fadell will be able to breath some new life into Glass and make it into a truly revolutionary project.
